FIRST REPORT:[PHOTOS & VIDEOUPDATED 4:05 PM] Jahmell Crockam, the man convicted of killing Lakewood Police Officer Chris Matlosz, has just been sentenced to life in prison. The Ocean County Courthouse in Toms River was packed with family and friends of both Chris Matlosz and his Fiancee Ms. Kelly Walsifer as Judge Wendel Daniels handed down the sentence. Many Lakewood Police Officers were in attendance as well.

“The defendant is luckier than Chris”, Kelly Walsifer said at the sentencing. “He got to be judged by 12, Chris was carried by 8.”

He will spend the rest of his life behind bars and will not be eligible for parole. PHOTOS BY TLS. VIDEO WITH RIGHTS BY OCC POOL/TOM COSTELLO.

So the next time that a liberal Democrat asks you to vote for him, remember the anger that we feel today that there is no death penalty in the state of NJ, and then remind yourself that the liberal Democrats are the reason that there is no death penalty in the state of NJ. And then vote for the Republican (preferably the conservative Republican).

YID – I COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT MORE PERFECTLY. YOU ARE 100% ON POINT!!

Kelly- we are so sorry for your pain – I know this doesn’t help you with your loss – may you find the courage to move forward and try to build your life again, as you have to find new strength and goals – Life seems unfair sometimes – you would hope they would at least force him to work and send you his paycheck – not that it would help you, but at least you would have some support, and there would be a deterrent to other murderers.

I really dont understand why people are complaining about our taxes going toward Jamhell Crockham. What if it was your family member or loved one killed by some animal, wouldn’t you want us to support you and make sure his killer was sentenced too, no matter what the price. Stop complaining already!! Chris’s famiy and friends now finally can have some comfort knowing Chris can now Rest in Peace…. Let us all thank God for giving his friends and family the oppurtunity to close this horrible chapter in their lives and have the strength to move on!! Rest in Peace Chris~ Gone but never forgotten 317 ♥ A true hero forever!!

I agree with you Leah. I hope she can now start to live her life, move on, and stay strong. And, I agree that it’s not fair that this creep gets to sit in jail watching tv (cable), free medical, dental, eating, schooling, etc.; the things most of us have to work hard to obtain.

@Princess The commenters are happy that he is at least getting life in prison even though we have to foot the bill. People just think that it would be more fair if he would be killed. Now that we don’t have the death penalty life in prison in great! Just would’ve been more fair if he would be executed.

dont u people relize i its alot more to put someone down then let them live and i think life in the hole is alot better for him away from tv other people and dont let him order any of food like snacks and what not and dont let no church get to him g-d would forgive i instead dont want to let that happen i want him to go down and not up for those that want him dead read what i just posted killing him would give him the easy way out now alls we need now is to keep his brother in there for threating lakewood high that he was going to shot up the school if his brother is sentenced hes in there on weapons charges and terr threats cause if u let him out he could be as heartless as his brother and follow through with his threats

Its funny seen all these comments because all of you are saying they should kill him and stuff but that doesnt make u better then him because you want dsomeone else died. I understand he killed a cop on duty but one thing that gets me mad is if it was someother person that got shot 3 times for doing his job no one would care but since it was a cop EVERYONE CARES.
